CHICAGO, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- ComPsych recently announced the gold
winners of the third-annual Health at Work Award: Sprint; Erie Insurance;
City of Naperville, Ill. and Green Hills Public Library District. Winners
were selected based on their wellness program's comprehensiveness,
delivery, promotion, participation rates and results achieved. ComPsych
Corporation is the world's largest provider of employee assistance programs
and worldwide leader in GuidanceResources(R) (EAPs, behavioral health,
work-life, wellness and crisis intervention services).

"Employers are taking a much more hands-on approach to wellness in
their quest to contain health costs," said Dr. Richard A. Chaifetz,
chairman and CEO of ComPsych. "This year's entries showed a great deal of
ingenuity, with programs aimed at both getting employees involved and
keeping them engaged. Employers also have brought together new specialized
staff, outside vendors and internally created programs and synthesized all
of these components to work toward employee health improvement and cost
reductions.

"We applaud these four organizations for promoting health and wellness
in the workplace, and improving the lives of employees."

Within four categories based on size, the following organizations were
recognized:

Some highlights of these organizations' health and wellness promotion
programs include:

increase social interaction to improve morale and emotional health,

i.e. "take-your-coworker-to-lunch" days, fitness contests and weight

loss support groups.

-- "Scientific" approaches that include pilot programs to test

effectiveness and opinion surveys to measure employee opinions and

preferences.
